"Wax on ... wax off"

Classic 1980s family movie, that is almost like a toned down version of Rocky, and that sees Mr Miyaga train Daniel(san) after he moves to LA and becomes the victim of High school bullying by the local 'in' crowd who also train at the local Doyo whilst a young Elisabeth Shue provides the love interest.

And, I've only just recently found out, the superlative scene where a drunk Mr Miyaga recounts the death of his wife and unborn son in an internment camp was nearly left on the cutting room floor!!

Rizzoli & Isles are Back

A murder investigation based on the the death of a nun, and one in a critical condition, inside the walls of their convent. The nuns were brutally and savagely attacked, and Rizzoli & Isles were called to the scene to figure things out.
In this well written novel you can expect some twists and turns, some surprising moments and an in depth view behind the facades of these two strong females.
The third in the series did not disappoint.
